Goldman Sach has brought onboard a top U.S. sales trader as it looks to strengthen its equities sales and trading business.

Mark Hibbert, co-head of U.S. sales trading and the head of U.S. special situations at Deutsche for the last four and a half years, has joined Goldman Sach as a managing director in New York.

Hibbert comes with 13 years of experience. He started his investment banking career with UBS as a managing director and head of U.S. special situations in 2004, according to his LinkedIn profile, and remained there for nine years before moving on to Deutsche Bank as a managing director. Although he graduated as a Bachelor of Science from Providence College, he changed his field to finance later on.

Hibbert’s move to Goldman from Deutsche comes after Deutsche Bank itself recruited former Goldman Sachs partner Peter Selman to help build its equities business. Hibbert isn’t the only senior Deutsche U.S. equities professional to leave before bonuses: as we reported last week, David Liberatore, a popular U.S. sales trader, also left the bank.
